Second season starts now! Riker has his glorious beard, Worf is Chief of Security, and La Forge is Chief Engineer! But, what’s this?! Pulaski?! I thought she came in during the third season! Well, I guess the countdown to Crusher’s return starts now!

Guinan! Ten-Forward! Troi has a better jumpsuit!

Woah. That was a really weird discussion between Picard, Riker, Worf, and Data about Troi’s rape and subsequent pregnancy, while Troi just kind of sat there.

Miles O’Brien is back on the transporter controls!

That was a weird episode to open the season with. Really, not much happened, except that we were introduced to Pulaski and Guinan, Troi had a really weird pregnancy and child (and while she described it as rape, nobody ever called it that), and The Boy decided to stay on the Enterprise even though Crusher became the Chief Medical Officer at Starfleet HQ. Also, that medical guy with all the viruses had amazing hair and an even more amazing moustache. Let’s get better, hey?
PS. The reason Crusher was replaced by Pulaski was due to more behind-the-scenes stuff. Gates McFadden was actually fired because one of the head writers didn’t like working with her. When Pulaski’s character didn’t really work out in the second season, Gene Roddenberry invited McFadden to come back. She was originally going to say no, but then Patrick Stewart called her and convinced her to come back, so we got Crusher back from season three onwards.
